IoT Based Humidity and Temperature Control System for Smart Warehouse

Abstract

In daily life, vitamins fruits and vegetables play a very important role in human life. The farmer produces grains or vegetables in huge quantities. Due to lack of storage problem farmer suffers. It is necessary to store all these things in a special warehouse. Thus, improper storage of grains or fruits is essential to meet the increasing demands. Storage time and fruit quality are greatly influenced by storage environmental factors. Therefore, it is important for the fruit storage environment to perform multi-parameter monitoring and analyze the collected parameters and then regulate and control. The quality of grains and other perishable goods kept in a warehouse usually deteriorates due to lack of monitoring and proper maintenance of their required suitable conditions in such a large area. The proposed methodology deals with the storage of grains, fruits, etc., and to identify their temperature and humidity patterns so that they will not be degraded. Establishing the environment in relation to the nature of the crop so as to determine an optimum threshold with an appropriate pattern of monitoring and change. The main goal of this research article is to provide solutions to prevent rotting of grains and fruits in the storage area.
